Myths And Legends is an album by German New Age band Cusco. It was released in 2003. The album covers the Greek Mythology with musical aspects. It is one of the most admired albums by Cusco and unlike most of their other albums, it is not centred around South America.
With its lush melodies, tribal rhythms and chants and soaring flute driven energy, Cusco has cornered the market on mystical world music since becoming one of Higher Octave Music's mainstays over 15 years ago. They could have sold those two million units based on the engaging, spirit-energizing music alone, but no doubt dedicated listeners have been prompted to brush up on Inca and Aztec civilizations, which fueled this brainchild of German born group leader Michael Holm. This sweeping and provocative new disc blends a multitude of world cultures while delving into the adventure, magic, and mystery of ancient myths and legends. These odes to the "Oracle of Delphi" (blending a lush, dare we say, Yanni-esque piano with exciting chanting and throbbing grooves), "Eros and Psyche" (soundscape with Incan flute flavors), "Janus" (a loping adventure as the flute treks through the forest), and "Poseidon" (imagine dark ocean caverns) will inspire not only spiritual peace in the present but also a link to our collective past. Using the song titles as guides, the listener may feel the urge to study up on the enduring legends which continue to captivate and inspire today.

开头怎么有点民谣的味道 呵呵 好听
Cusco is a German New Age band named after the Peruvian city of Cusco. Their songs contain influences from music found around the world. It comprises Michael Holm and Kristian Schultze. Michael Holm had long been fascinated with Cusco, the ancient region of Peru. Being a musician he wanted to show his fascination in the form of a musical tribute to the ancient world of Cusco. He met Kristian Schultze in 1978 and found out that they shared same musical and historical tastes. In 1979, Cusco the band was formed and they soon signed with Higher Octave, a German label. They currently reside in Weilheim / Oberbayern, Germany. Some of their music is used as pre-show background music in Epcot prior to IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, as well as bumper music for the popular American syndicated radio program, Coast to Coast AM .
that's all.........
